When FBI Agent Charles Burns replaced his receiver after Booth gave the last instructions. It was difficult not to be concerned about the situation that his boss had relayed to him only moments ago. He understood as much as anyone how important Dr. Temperance Brennan was to the FBI and to one Special Agent Seeley Booth. So when his boss called and told him to check into a Jacob Ripkin Broadsky he got right on it. As the information was compiling he headed to the office of Assistant Deputy Director Andrew Hacker. He didn't much care for his boss's boss but he knew he'd need Hacker's approval before gathering the necessary agents to fulfill his task.
"Hi Marilyn, is he in? I need to speak with him, it's urgent" he smiled trying to charm his way into Hacker's office without an appointment.
"Hi Charlie, let me see if he's available" she said as she pressed the intercom button on her phone to ring the Director.
"Yes?" Hacker said.
"Sir, Agent Charles Burns is here, he says he needs to speak to you urgently."
Andrew sighed, "Send him in Marilyn. Thank you."
"Yes Sir" as she replaced the receiver she said, "You may enter Charlie. Good luck."
"Agent Burns, what can I do for you?" Hacker asked a little irritated.
"Sir, Agent Booth believes he knows who the sniper is and asked that I speak with you about it and what he needs to bring this case to a close."
"Why isn't Agent Booth here himself?"
"He believes that the sniper is Jacob Ripkin Broadsky son of a general that Agent Booth had to eliminate when he was a sniper for the Army" Charlie said fearing the Director's response to this news.
"So what does Agent Booth need to bring this guy in?"
Trying to hide his surprise that the Director didn't ask for proof or at least more details Charlie said, "Agent Booth believes that Broadsky has been following him for the past week. He thinks that Broadsky is going after Dr. Brennan to get back at him for his father's shooting. He and Dr. Brennan are headed to Founding Fathers, if he's right that Broadsky is following him then we might be able to apprehend him there."
"So what do you require to complete this mission?"
"We need your approval for the S.W.A.T team and a few snipers, Sir."
"Take the men and the equipment you need. I'm sure I don't have to tell you what an asset Dr. Brennan is to the FBI" Hacker said with his eyebrow raised.
"No Sir and Thank you Sir" Charlie said as he left the office dialing his phone as he went.
